The Simple Life...

I think we have opened 15 quarts of home canned green beans in one week. We have spent $150 less this month than last month and those green beans probably helped:) We've had roast, hamburgers, baked potatoes, chicken and green beans are liked by every person in our family and go with everything. We opened beets and carrots and Kevin and I were the only ones who ate them. I always hope to can as many green beans as I possibly can do but with eating them fresh during the season we seem to run out of the canned ones every year.

Today, I am trying soaked whole grain bread. I freshly ground the flour for it and added the first ingredients and now it sits soaking for 24 hours. I am anxious to try this recipe. I haven't liked the last soaked bread recipe we did. I hope this is more like "real" bread. http://www.passionatehomemaking.com/2008/01/kitchen-tip-tuesday-homemade-bread.html The pictures look good.

Off to watch a Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew mystery. They are as corny as the books :) We sure are enjoying laughing at Frank and Joe and the fact that each show is identical except for a little variation on the mystery to solve. Have a good day!
